Lincoln's Reverence for Women.

Upon q temperament thus predis-
posed to look at things in their darker
aspect, it might naturally be expected
that 8 love affair which was not per-
fectly happy would be productive of
great misery. But Lincoln seemed es-
pecially chosen to the keenest suffer-
ing in such conjuncture. The pioneer,
as rule, was comparatively free from
any troubles of the imagination. To
quote Mr.. Mcconnell again: There
was no romance in his (the pioneer's)
composition. He had no dreaminess;
meditation was no part of his mental
habit; poetical fancy would, in him,
have been an indication of insanity. If
he reclined at the foot of tree, on q
still summer day, it was to sleep; ii he
gazed out over the waving prairie, it
was to search for the column of smoke
which told of his enemies approach; if
he turned his eve toward the blue
heaven, it was to prognosticate to-mor-
rows rain or sunshine. If he bent his
gaze toward the green earth, it was to
look for @Indian sign" or buffalo trail.
His wife was only helpmate;
ne never 6hOu8nG OF MAKING 8
divinity of her" But Lincoln
could never have claimed this happy
immunity from ideal trials. His pub
ished speeches show how much the
poet In him was constantly kept in
check; and at this time of his life his
imagination was sufficiently alert to in
fict upon him the sharpest anguish.
His reverence for women was so deep
end tender that he thought an injury
to one of them was sin too heinous to
be expiated. No Hamlet, dreaming
amid the turrets of Elsinore, no Sidney
creating q chivalrous Arcadia, was
fuller of mystic and shadowy fancies of
the worth and dignity of woman than
this backwoods politician. Few men
ever lived more sensitively and deli
eately toward the ssx.-Hay and

The Senses as Affected ~ Sex.

If the senses are taken seriatim Il
viii be evident that they are not paral-
lei in men and women. The latter pos
sess, in q much greater degree, the
perfection of the sense of touch; those
occupations that require extreme deli
eacy of manipulation, such as lace
making, embroidery, bead-stringing,
etc, are therefore usually followed BY
women. As regards the sense of hear
ing we are not aware of any expert
ments or observations on the relative
perfection of the sense In the two sexes;
and the same may be said as regards
the sense of sight, which appears to be
equally acute In women and in men.
In the extreme delicacy of taste it is
probable that men excel. Whether
they do so naturally, or in consequence
of the cultivation of mems palates is,
perhaps, q moot question; but that
they excel not only as gourmands but
also as gourme.s may be accepted as
IN established fact, and the accurate
perception of the delicate shades of
difference distinguishing different
brands and vintages of wine is much
more frequently found in men than in
women. As regards the sense of smell,
some exceedingly conclusive expert
ments have been made by some Amer
lean savants which appear to sub~ert
our preconceived opinions. The e1-
periments were performed with prussia
acid and other strongly odorous sub
stances ON forty-four males and thirty
eight females. and it was found that in
nearly all cases the sense of smell was
about double as acute in men as in
women. The cause of the difference in
this matter between men and women is
quite unknown, as is the object of the
distinction; but it has one practical
bearing that may be borne in mind.
The employment ofstrong and potent
perfumes by women may depend on
their less acute sense of smell; and
they would do. well to bear in mind the
fact that odors and perfumes which
may be quite pleasant to them may be
almost overpowering and decidedly un-
pleasant to Individuals of the other sex.

The Orlon Diamond.
Chambers Journal.

Chambers Journal.
This magnificent gem, which in its
rough state formed the eye of an idol in
a temple near Trichinopoli, was stolen by
q Frenchman, who escaped with his prize
to Persia, and who, fearful of being dis
gotten gear for sum Of about 92, 600.
The man who bought the stone, q Jewish
merchant, sold it to one Shafras, an as
tute Armenian, for e12, 900. Shafras had
conceived the idea that by carrying the
stone to Russia he would obtain from the
Empress Catharine the Great a princely
sum for it. How to travel in safety with
the stone, the theft of which had of course
been discovered and proclaimed, became
q grave consideration. It was too large
to swallow, and no mode Of concealment
presented itself to Shafras that seemed
secure from discovery. The way IN which
he solved the problem was remarkable.
He made deep incision in the fleshy
part Of his left leg, IN which he inserted
the stone, closing the wound carefully by
sewing it up with silver thread. When
the wound healed the Armenian merchant
set out on his travels quite boldly, and
although moro than once spprehended,
vigorously searched, and even tortured q
little, he was obdurste, and finally de-
MED having the stone in his possession.
Having at length reached his destins-
ton he asked from the empress the sum
Of FAC, 900 for the gem, an amount OF
money which Catharine was unable to
raise at the moment. We next find the
Armenian at Amsterdam with the inten-
ton Of having his diamond cut. Hero

How Ingerson Was Captured.
Missouri Republican
A veteran of the late war, who was in
Col Bob Ingersoll's command when the
great orator was captured down in Ten
nessee, gives an amusing account of that
affair. He says Col Bob was completely
surrounded by the rebels and only sur
rendered when it was folly for the brave
est man to do otherwise. He then threw
up his hands and screamed out: ''Stop
firing; I'll acknowledge your-old con-
federacy." The colonel was taken over
to store for safe keeping and he proved
to be great curiosity. People tlocked
around, listened to his stories, laughed
and declared that they were having more
fun than they ever had in their lives.
Soon he was asked to make speech.
This was what he was working for, and
q minute later he was on box and ad-
dressing the crowd, and it was a right
rough crowd, too. No lecture that great
orator has ever delivered contained SO
much that was good. He pictured how
regretfully the north took up arms
against the south. Then he went of on
slavery, placing the poor white before
him in the place of the unfortunate
blacks. It was a touching appeal, and
brought tears and storms Of applause
from the very men who had but q few
hours before shot at and captured him.
At the moment when the most pathetic
passages IN his speech were being deliv-
cred Gen. Forrest, confederate cavalry
man, whose command had made the cap
ture rushed into the crowd all aglow with
excitement, but not anger, and e1-
claimed: "Here, Ingersoli, stop that
speech and I'll exchange you for . gov
eminent mule" A short time aft.rward
Col Ingerso1 was paroled. He was de-
moralizing the whole Of that command
and would have it revolving against its
commander bad he been allowed to go on
for two or three days as he had on the
first day.

Lincoln at His Mothers Grave.


This life has been Wanted by poets
and romancers as happy and health
full one. Even Dennis Hanks, speak
ing of his youthful days when his only
home was the half-faced camp, says,
Il tell you, Billy, I enjoyed myself
better then than I ever have since"
But we may distrust the "reminiscences
of old settlers, who see their youth
through rosy mist of memory. The
life was neither enjoyable nor whole
some. The rank woods were full of
malaria, and singular epidemics from
time to time ravaged the settlements.
In the autumn of 1918 the little COM
munity of Pigeon Greek was almost
exterminated by frightful pestilence
called the milk sickness, or, in the dia-
lect of the country, "the milk-sick."
It is mysterious disease which has
been the theme of endless wrangling
among Western physicians, and the
difficulty of ascertaining anything
about it has been greatly increased by
the local sensitiveness which forbids
any one to admit that any wen-defned
case has ever been seen in his neigh
borhood, although just over the creek.
or in the next county, they have had it

nant form of fever-attributed various

poisonous herbs by the cattle-attack-
ing cattle as well as human beings,
attended with violent retchings and q
burning sensation in the stomach,
often terminating fatally on the third
day. In many cases those who APP
parently recovered fingered for years
with health seriously impaired. Among
the pioneers of Pigeon Greek, so ILL
fed, so il-housed, and uncared for,
there was little prospect of recovery
from such q grave disorder. The Spar
rows, husband and wife, died early in
October, and Nancy Hanks Lincoln
followed them after an interval of Q

Concerning Mete0rs.

/. The luminous meteor tracks are
in the upper part of the earth's atmos-
phere. Few, if any, appear at q height
greater than 100 miles, and few are
seen below . height Of 80 miles from
the earthis surface, except in rare cases
where stones and iron fall to the
ground. All these meteor tracks are
caused by bodies which come into the
air from above.
2. The ve1ocities of the meteors In
the air are comparable with that of the
earth in its orbit about the sun. It is
not easy to determine the exact values
of those velocities, yet they may be
roughly stated as from so to $50 times
the velocity of sound in the air or of q
cannon ball.
3. 1t is a necessary consequence OF
these velocities that the meteors move
about the sun and not about the earth
as the controlling body.
4. There are four comets related to
four periodic star-showers that come on
the dates of April 20, August 10, No
vember Ia. and November "a. The me-

dons.
5. The ordinary shooting stars in
their appearance and phenomena do not
differ essentially from the individuals
IN star-showers.
6. The meteorites of different falls
differ from one another IN their chemi-
cal composition. in their mineral forms,
and in their tenacity. Yet through all
these differences they have peculiar
common properties which distinguish
them entirely from all terrestrial
rocks.
z. The most delicate researches have
failed to detect any trace Of organic
life In meteorites.
These propositions have practically

men,-Nature.
